When it comes to exercise advice, artificial intelligence can sometimes be a dumbbell.
A study in JMIR Medical Education found that ChatGPT’s responses to queries looking for individualized exercise advice had “notable gaps in content surrounding critical components” of a physical fitness regimen. While the AI chatbot accurately cited “gold-standard exercise recommendations,” its responses were incomplete and reflected “poor comprehensiveness,” researchers said. Its biggest weakness: ChatGPT often misinterpreted information or issued outdated advice about health screenings recommended before beginning an exercise program.
The study also found the readability level of the recommendations was typically at the college level, which could be difficult to comprehend for many users and create “barriers to understand and apply the information provided.”
